Dr. Qi carried out her Ph.D. training at the University of Oslo investigating mechanisms governing the release of cardiac natriuretic peptides in both experimental heart failure and patients with left ventricular dysfunction. She completed her post-doctoral training in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at the University of Calgary studying the role of endogenous opioids in modulating baseline cardiovascular and renal function (2000-2002) as well as the role of the non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase Fer in innate immunity and inflammation (2002-2004).  Currently, Dr. Qi is studying the relationship between angiotensin II and nitric oxide in relation to cardiovascular and renal function during development.
